Nov-21-08 Bogoljubov vs Nimzowitsch, 1927
| |
|
norcist: <RookFile> Rubbish. Nimzowitsch actually appears to have had a pull up until at least move 24. Oddly enough, after exchanging off the f3 knight Nimzowitsch refuses to play e5 cementing his grip on d4 (something the computer is begging him to do)especially since he planned to ...

norcist: Interesting I let crafty run on the position after the "powerful" 19...h5 and
it gives, oddly, a slight edge to white (I happen to agree with Nimzo...black must be at least marginally better here) and it is not until the shockingly stupid 20.e4? that black obtains a clear ...

| |
|
norcist: <sanyas>
Good question. Flohr hits Vidmar with the IQP pawn characteristic of many lines of the tarrasch. However, after 13...Bg4 black seems to retain good drawing chances, thought white is better thanks to his superior minor pieces/pawn structure. I don't know what to make ...
